Re: Mars Express and Beagle 2

The third and final attempt for the day to reach the Beagle 2 lander has just concluded. The Jodrell Bank Observatory was again unable to detect any carrier signal from Beagle 2. Two Mars Odyssey overflights of the landing site earlier in the day were also unsuccessful at detecting the lander.

Efforts for tomorrow (Saturday) will include another pass by Odyssey at 1:15-2:00 AM EST, a Jodrell Bank pass at 10:00 AM EST, and a late-evening attempt by the Stanford antenna complex to detect carrier signal from the lander.

Sunday efforts will include two more Odyssey passes, and one Jodrell Bank attempt.

If necessary, efforts will continue with one Odyssey pass per day to attempt to detect Beagle 2 until Odyssey is re-tasked to support Mars Exploration Rover landing operations on January 3.

Meanwhile, the Mars Express orbiter continues to fare well. The next event will be a plane change maneuver at 3:00 AM EST on Tuesday to begin the process of moving the spacecraft into the final science orbit.
